PRESS RELEASE

New website: brings heart & help to sole traders and business owners

Soul-Trader.biz is launched on 1 Jan 2015 to help aspiring and established sole traders and small business achieve greater success, life balance, confidence, happiness – and helps cut the financial and emotional costs, headache and heartache out of business. It includes free motivational and practical talks / podcasts, webinars, blog articles and interviews. Plus FREE membership, an online community and a ‘Coach Yourself’ programme to help if you’re thinking about, starting out or growing a business.

Leading life/business coach and speaker Rasheed Ogunlaru whose clients include entrepreneurs, celebrities and Chief Executives is the founder of the site. It is based on / builds his Internationally acclaimed book Soul Trader – Putting the Heart Back into Your Business (published by Kogan Page). It replaces the old, cut-throat model of business with a new empowering 7 “Soul Trader” principles / steps to cut the stress and costs and boost the joy and impact of business by growing it by: Clarity, Customers, Courage, Co-operation, Conversations, Creativity, Compassion + by embracing Change.

“Starting and growing a business can be challenging, lonely and uncertain. Soul-Trader.biz offers inspiration, motivation, support and connectivity on that journey.” Says Ogunlaru who is also life/business coach to the British Library’s Business & IP Centre where he runs a monthly workshop for budding and established small business owners.

“Entrepreneurial dreams, job uncertainty, deep public sector cuts, a new generation of aspiring young people and our desire for more autonomy and work-life flexibility more and more people are starting up on their own. “There’s also a (false) notion that business has to be tough, cold, cut-throat and ultra competitive Actually it can be and needs to be collaborative, compassionate and customer-friendly to meet the challenges we face. And those are the kind of businesses more and more people I meet wish to run.”

Rasheed’s 7 Soul Trader Tips

  1. Clarity: build a business on your unique passion, purpose, skills, talents and values
  2. Customers: see life through the eyes of your customers and win their hearts/loyalty
  3. Courage: Use your unique story, strengths and setbacks to foster an athletes mindset
  4. Co-operation: Unleash, build and utilize your network to help one and all to flourish
  5. Conversations: Every interaction is an opportunity. Inspire, engage, listen and serve.
  6. Creativity: Know what you do best. Learn to work on what/when – and when to rest.
  7. Compassion: Love you, love what you do and love others too.
